General News of Monday, 12 March 2018Source: todaygh.comNDC kingmakers meet over Mahama’s returnFormer President John MahamaAlthough former President John Dramani Mahama is yet to officially announce his intention to return to the presidential race of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) slated for somewhere in November this year, Today can report that the kingmakers of the party are not in support of his coming. According to them, Mr Dramani Mahama has outlived his usefulness in Ghanaian politics, and for that matter, it will be suicidal for the NDC to gamble with his candidature in 2020, if the party still wants to remain relevant. Some NDC Members of Parliament (MPs) including some national and regional executives, who had already rooted for former President Dramani Mahama, our source said, were not spared at the meeting. Interestingly, the source told Today that the NDC kingmakers who attended the said meeting did not found attractive all the candidates who had publicly shown interest to lead the NDC in 2020. But, the source said, the NDC kingmakers were comforted by the fact that in the coming months some “notable” personalities of the party will emerge to contest the party’s presidential race.
